since its opening about 2 years ago cafe 48 became my most beloved restaurant in the city. The menu is very diverse, displaying chef Jonathan Borowitz broad culinary knowledge, with influences ranging from New York to Thailand. The staff is very warm and welcoming and the specials board guarantees that even in your 10th visit here you'll have many new... More

Jonathan is his name. He loves cooking, though educated in quite different discipline. If you're lucky you can meet him on the post. Try chicken livers on toast. Fabulous! Jonathan has his own taste. His cuisine is not fusion!!! It is simply for taste lovers. RECOMENDED.

This place is located in the center of Tel Aviv nightlife. It is not big so you want to book your place in advance (weekends in particular). The service is great , the food is superb and the alcohol and wine selection is decent - all at quiet acceptable prices. It is not one of the fanciest places in the... More
